Review Quotes:

A grotesque and hopeful fictional mosaic. Like Tennessee Williams, by way of classic monster movies, Gregory Wolos has done something necessary: he has crafted a book about bumbling fatherhood, human mistakes, storytelling, creation, frailty, and trying (and mostly failing) to see the world for what it really is.
